Industries
Decarbonize the Food Chain
Fertilizer production accounts for approximately 1.5% of global CO2 emissions. Replacing grey hydrogen with green electrolytic H2 directly addresses this carbon-intensive step in the food supply chain.
Reduce Feedstock Cost
Hydrogen represents the largest variable cost in ammonia-based fertilizer production. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces this dominant input cost.
Scale for Agricultural Demand
Global fertilizer production requires hundreds of millions of tonnes of ammonia. IONZERA's scalable, mesh-free manufacturing supports the massive membrane volumes needed for this transition.
Fertilizer & Urea Production in China’s Hydrogen Market
China operates the world's largest alkaline electrolyser manufacturing base and is the dominant market for AWE systems globally. With aggressive renewable energy deployment in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and coastal provinces, China's green hydrogen capacity is scaling from GW to tens of GW. The domestic alkaline electrolyser market is intensely competitive, creating demand for differentiated membrane technology.
For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator. The mesh-free design and advanced nanocomposite composition represent a next-generation technology leap for stacks targeting export markets with stringent performance requirements.

Why choose IONZERA for fertilizer & urea production in China?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for fertilizer & urea production applications in China. For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator.
How does IONZERA compare to Chinese domestic AWE membranes?
IONZERA's proprietary PSU-TiO2-GO nanocomposite achieves 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 area resistance, which is significantly lower than most domestic Chinese AWE separators. The mesh-free architecture and graphene oxide enhancement provide a technology generation leap.
Can Chinese electrolyser OEMs integrate IONZERA as a drop-in membrane?
Yes. IONZERA operates in standard 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C and is compatible with standard AWE stack designs. It is a direct replacement for existing separators without requiring frame or system modifications.
